Hot Rods Any oxblood interiors out there ?

Just cutting out my interior panels here. An old friend is coming out of retirement to upholster them for me. Got a couple oxblood samples here. What colour carpet and headliner are guys running with this?

 

I painted my model A coupe black and then I had the interior done in oxblood. My upholsterer said it was just another shade of maroon but I think there is a little more red in a true oxblood. Anyways I had the carpets made from a closed loop carpet material like the old GM cars from the '60s in oxblood as well. The headliner was a pain but I had it done in the same oxblood material as the seats. It turned out great. Glad I didn't mix in another color. Wish I could show you a picture but I don't have that capability.

 

Plucked from various HAMB threads & stored in my "someday" folder:

I have a roadster, so no headliner. My upholstery supplier was able to match colors with some bulk carpet he had in stock. It blends well with the oxblood upholstery.

 

I’m trying!

 

This was done in 1951. The carpet I think I’ll change to a closer match, but otherwise I think everything works well together. The headliner should match the seats and door panels in my opinion

Just got a new Oxblood sample from Crest leather and it is really nice.

 

Oxblood is such a great, traditional color, I don't know why it isn't used more often.
